Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

videorama-759-859391 This film doesn't come off entirely what it sets off to do. Moriarty in two brother roles, shows us what a fine actor he is. It's good Moriarty versus Moriarty, where good Moriarty's life, is becoming a living hell, thanks to his Siamese twin brother, who's fortunately a psychotic, who's committed a sting of brutal murders, one not so brutal, involving punching an ex boxing star (lovable veteran actor Cameron Mitchell). Bad Moriarty is parading as good Moriarty doctor, which he isn't as it isn't helping his good brother's chances, when the cops get hold of him. When growing up, our psychotic one wasn't given the same love and attention, as the good one, hence, part of his reasons for becoming a knife thrashing lunatic. His good brother has it all, successful, likable, and a really nice piece of female a..e The ain't half bad film offers some nice servings of nudity and some nice slappings of venesection (gore) and Moriarty, who's acting presence is always something viewable, especially after seeing in Q. The problems with the film, overall, I felt, were there were a few stops, a little dullness, and not enough story poured into what is otherwise, an interesting film, that really doesn't really fall above the ranks of average.

sol ***SPOILERS*** Strange tale of two identical Siamese Twines, played by the prying mantas or string bean looking Michael Moriarty, separate at birth who go on in life in two opposite directions. One Craig Manning a respected and well loved doctor in the USA and the "Evil One" of the two Keith a ruthless serial murderer in far off Germany who specializes in murdering well stacked women,both young and middle age, after having sex with them. It's the good twin Craig who get's visions of women being murdered that tips him off on his twin brother Keith's, who supposedly died in a house fire in Cleveland at the age of 17, murder spree across the Atlantic.Craig While taking a trip to Hamburg Germany, where he saw Keith commit his murders, where Keith is soon spotted and mistaken for him at a Hamburg coffee shop by by one Craig's former patients ex-boxer and now professional wrestler Bud Waldo, Cameron Mitchell,whom he treated some time ago for an arm injury. Feeling that he may uncover his true identity in him not being Craig Manning has Keith trick Waldo, who has a serious heart condition, into a friendly sparring session with him in the park. With Keith hitting the much older man in all directions and not for once letting up induces Waldo to drop dead of a massive heart attack. Now really getting into it Keith goes all out to murder anyone, not just sexy and buxom women, who can figure out or prove that he's in fact not Craig but Keith! Keith uses this sham to murder at his heart's desire and have Craig take the blame for it!It's when Craig's busty & sexy secretary as well as lover Julie Warren, Penelope Milford, realizes his dreams or visions are real and has the local authorities in Hamburg headed by police inspector Hessinger, Reinhold Olszewski, check out Keith whereabouts and connection to the murders that Craig is now being blamed for that Keith targets her for his next victim. In that she can prove that Craig in fact does have an identical twin who's been murdering at will and laying the blame for his murders to his brother Craig! ***SPOILERS*** It's difficult to believe that Keith can commit so many murders in the movie without anyone not only not suspecting he committed them but not being able to catch him as well. Keith finally slips up when he sets up Julie as his next victim. It's during his hot and heavy sexual tryst with her that he drops his switchblade knife and ends up getting it plunged into his back by Julie before he could retrieve it! Now dead and on a slab in the morgue Craig come to bid his twin brother Keith a final farewell that in fact turns out to be fatal for him! ***MAJOR SPOILER***The films crazy and unexplained ending in the dead not only raising from the grave or morgue but taking over someone's body and mind was just too much for me to take. Up until then "Blood Link" at least made some kind of sense as a crime thriller but in it's suddenly turning into a supernatural horror movie it took any credibility that was still left in the film away for it.

lazarillo A man shares a psychic link with his siamese twin brother who he thought perished in a fire but has actually become a serial killer in Berlin, Germany (don't ya hate it when that happens?). This is kind of an interesting movie, not good necessarily but interesting. Basically its a latter-day Italian giallo except that it is a German co-production with American actors, it has a slightly bigger budget than usual, and it was apparently not post-synced. It was also made at a time when big-budget Hollywood films were actually beginning to imitate Italian gialli instead of just the reverse. In fact, the two films it borrows most liberally from--Brian DePalma's "Sisters" and the John Carpenter-scripted "Eyes of Laura Mars"--were themselves very heavily influenced by gialli making this film a kind of trans-Atlantic cinematic feedback.The acting is very good. Michael Moriarity plays dual roles as the protagonist and his psychopathic brother. Cameron Mitchell has a pretty decent cameo as an aging prize fighter. Penelope Milford is also pretty good. The script has Milford and all the other women in this movie generously shedding their clothes, even though doing so often requires their characters to be unbelievably stupid. One woman goes to bed with the identical twin of a man who she has just watched beat her elderly father to death, even though she really only has his own word that he is in fact the twin. Milford herself basically lets the homicidal brother rape her in an ill-conceived effort to save her unfaithful boyfriend from a murder charge. The ending might be an interesting attempt to explore the same psychological and metaphysical ground touched on in "Sisters" or the later David Cronenberg movie "Dead Ringers", or it could be just another sorry excuse to show Milford naked--hard to tell with these kind of movies. An interesting film though, especially for Michael Moriarty and/or giallo fans.

HumanoidOfFlesh Alberto De Martino's "Blood Link" is a pretty good thriller.Michael Moriaty plays a doctor,who has frightening visions of murder and discovers that this may be because of a psychic link to his siamese twin brother,who is murdering women in Germany.He tries to find him and stop the madness.The cast is pretty good with excellent performance by Michael Moriaty and the score by Ennio Morricone is brilliant.There is some violence and plenty of nudity.The film reminds me a little bit Brian De Palma's masterful "Sisters"(1973),but it has enough suspense and surprises to satisfy horror fans.Check it out.
